Is that available at compile time, though?

You're not wrong, but the idea of a sort of alt-history of various acceleration cards really tickled me :)

That's a tough sell for, say, a barman whose landlord realises they can double their rental income by doing short-term lets. Just because there's suddenly a lot of money flowing in, doesn't mean all people immediately benefit

AirBnb is similarly catching flak for much of Prague's recent spike in housing costs too, and tbh I don't think it's unjustified.

Yeah it's a good point, if you have someone totally inexperienced up against someone who knows the tricks (some of which I mentioned) you could see some odd results. I feel like there are a few issues which are gonna be a really toug

Thing is the lizard-people theory is ridiculous at its face and it could be argued that giving someone like that airtime would harm the lizard-people conspiracy. It's the more mainstream (but still niche) beliefs that are vulnerable

In an ideal world this means people will simply start taking what they're told with a pinch of salt and are little bit more sensible about believing sensational things. However we don't live in such a world. I suspect that what&#x

This is incredible, I feel like I am manifesting things by posting HN comments. What'll they think of next, one billion euros in cash hidden in my wardrobe!?

Interesting, so some awareness of the concept of "zoning" but not particularly fine grained. Thanks for clarifying!

That's totally true that you're playing a City Planner so you might end up exposed to concepts usually only a City Planner really cares about. However my impression (and I might be wrong!) was that Americans were more aware of the

That's probably right but, at least where I grew up, it's not something you'd know about unless you are building your own house. And it's a bit more flexible than "this bit here is residential, and this separate bit

Hell even if they're determined to ditch the Linode brand, why make it "Akamai Connected Cloud", surely just "Akamai Cloud" is cleaner?

You and me both, I really like it. A local cocktail place (“bar který neexistuje” - the bar which doesn’t exist ) came out with a twist on the Moscow Mule a while back called the “Mezcal Mule” which are very more-ish :-) And I legit love

This doesn't seem related to the flaw that was described at all - it seems like it applies equally to both road and rail. So while Sim City is very US-centric ("zoning" felt like just a gaming construct to me and I was very s

Mezcal had a bit of a moment recently and spiked in popularity, for example it gained a few connoisseurs and cocktail bars started to work with it more. It sounds like this article suggests Rakija will experience this too, sadly I don'

These are great. You're a good writer and have interesting experience on some tech that the general-public had exposure to.

This is it - if you hear the word "wary" and know the verb "to wear" before encountering the written word "weary" it's totally understandable to assume that is how "wary" is written and to mix

Scotland - and the emphasis is on the first syllable ("wea-" is about 1.5-2x longer than "ry", with the "r" short and rolled). But remember mapping pronunciation of spoken-English to Latin characters is a littl

There actually was a sort of embedded-systems variant of .NET called ".NET Micro" but it fell off a few years back (last release was back in 2015) and I think it had some high-ish minimum requirements (e.g. it's not running o

Yep, but I think the GP meant that it burns well and the result of that combustion isn’t too harmful. It would, i think, produce carbon dioxide and water but someone who studied chemistry at any level can confirm (I hated the subject)

That was your first programming class? That's actually a pretty amazing idea. I think many people's first exposure to programming is something low-level on the command line (printing like "hello world" then digging aroun

So I understand that in some contexts it's important to specify that, for example, you've written a library for "Common Lisp" rather than just "Lisp". Here the original commenter is clearly just happy they can

Right, this is what I'm saying. The situation is anything but clear and I don't think Biden's comments that day tell us anything concrete about this one way or another, and I think it's a mistake that some people think i
